Title : A Black Angel Passes - Anne Bragance - book

Summary :

She, fifteen years old and a few weeks. Me, not far from seventy-eight. I could be her grandfather or even her great-grandfather: a strange team that the two of us form. A week later, for the first time, I told her about the black boy and the wonderful gift I received from him, that a cappella singing that flowed from his throat like liquid gold. It was a primitive incantation, a melody where lament alternated with a kind of jubilant fervor, and these sounds flowed through my veins, through my bones, and I would have given anything for this joy that filled me to last forever. Every day, Andres Soriano, crippled with arthritis, sits on the bench in the bus shelter for line 15. That's where he meets Milush, the teenager with the funny name. The young girl and the old man start up a conversation. She lives alone with her mother; he nourishes the almost obsessive hope of finding the dark angel who once amazed him with her magnificent singing... Despite the disparity in their ages, the heavy family secrets, the fears and the sorrows, an extraordinary elective affinity will be revealed between the impertinent girl and the old man, who will gradually establish a beautiful bond and illuminate their lives.
